GMS at home! Whisker Wars brings Root vibes, plus we play Hardback on BGA! | Good Morning Society

0:37 Heat. Hey, Heat.

1:12 Heat. Heat.

1:54 See you.

2:40 Good morning everybody. Welcome on in. Hi Becca. Hi Relle. How's it going? So well. All right. Uh I'm at my house for once. We did some big recordings this week and cameras are still in place for more filming and so um we're doing a little work from home for the rest of the week. Yeah, super busy time at Good Time Society these days, which is a good thing. Always a good thing. And folks, thanks for joining us. This is Good Morning Society. Um that's Becca. I'm Rule and um Hello, welcome. Yeah, it's I feel it's I'm at home as well. Um, and as you can see, I've got all the games here. Becca's got her thing going on. You're in your office that you don't actually spend much time in. Apparently, I never get to be here. There are forbidden magic cards and dice in this room, so it has to stay locked most of the time. Usually, when I'm home, I'm with a 2-year-old. Yes.

3:40 And so, this sad, sad office gets neglected. It looks once used for streaming. It looks really nice, though. I'm going to tell you all the nice decor back there. I love it. Yeah. You know, we've got we got the pictures, we got the pinup girls. Nice. Uh and the board games are of course in prominently displayed in the dining room shelves. So, yes, of course. Yeah. Uh folks, we got another great show today. Um we've got all the games. We got all the Oh, we got beverages, too. I you know, I forgot to bring the Good Morning Good Time Society. Um is that Nazul mug? It is. This is an NUL mug. Yeah, that's a really cool mug. Yeah, I love this mug. It's one one of my probably my go-to besides the Good Morning Society mug. Um, but we do have our um board games and beverages and shenanigans as always, folks. Thank you for joining us. Um, so you've got uh we've got a couple of episodes of Bun the Cottower already filmed. Is that correct? four episodes have been filmed and uh our casts I like after day one I was like, "Oh my gosh, this is gonna I we had the most perfect cast for both of these episodes. What are we going to do tomorrow?" And yet again, I was like, "No, this was these were the perfect cast for these episodes." And I'm so excited. We're giving ourselves a nice little rest of the week off and then we're filming next week. Um, so we are going to take off Good Morning Society, but like it's it's such a privilege to be able to um leave the

5:10 set. Normally when you're renting a stage and you're renting gear, you got to just keep going. You got to plow through so you don't have to pay more rental fees than you need. And um what's such a ding-dang privilege to having this studio and being able to have built such a cool consistent thing where we get to create stuff all the time is that um we can just leave the cameras up. Right. So um it it's looking really good and each episode was a nailbiter and uh fingers crossed we get four more like that. I love it. That I mean that's got to feel good. I mean, what a journey you've been on so far as a creator, right? From back in the day and, you know, guesting and on on other shows and creating your own and then to this point where you have a studio, Becca, and you're helping other people create, which I think is absolutely just amazing and inspiring. Thank you, Ruel. That means so much. Truly, I I do believe I'm in a fever dream and I will wake up because it it's so cool. like really the geek and sunundry days there was a lot that was great and a lot that um we felt like we didn't have control as creators uh with and I I think ultimately that's why it didn't work out over there because um the talent was so disconnected from the the upper brass management kind of thing. Oh yeah. And um I've just wanted to create something that had all the good pieces and none of the bad. Nice. I feel like we're getting

6:41 closer every day. That's great. I love that. Of of taking, you know, taking what you've learned, of course, right? And using those lessons to improve upon your experience and here we are and now it's truly a good time society that you've created. Wouldn't wouldn't be what it is without you. So, thank you for being a part. Thank you for saying that. That's so nice. Uh folks, I'm pulling I'm doing my best Ray imitation. Uh trying to get all the uh cameras right and stuff and uh the mics hopefully. Hopefully video and audio um there are no issues. I hope. And if there are, please let me know and I'll fix it on the fly. Look, I just uh did that on the fly. And that hopefully works better. Um but yeah, hello. We've got I think it's Yeah, big face. Um what else is happening on the channel? We've got uh happening with you. Oh, with me.

7:34 I've I'm filming all kinds of stuff on my channel. I did I do my weekly live streams that are hosted on BG. Also, this is hosted on BG. Shout out to the crew there for hosting us. Hello. Thanks for joining us. Um I also do stuff on Critical Hit Games these days. They're a friendly local game shop in Corona, California. I do that every Thursday. So, join me on there, folks. And we play games and we get to hang out there with the the crew uh there. It's a lot of fun. So, awesome. Yeah. You know, let's Why don't we Oh, how do we do this? We're We're virtually I guess we can grab in go into the grab bag of games virtually. There you go. Grab bag of games, folks. Let's move on over there and check out what we've got to talk about. We got all the latest and greatest. And this one just literally dropped like two hours ago. Uh this is from Panosaurus Games. They are partnering with one of my probably my favorite our favorite uh board game company called We Are French. That's as far as names go. Yes.

8:36 Um, what they doing? This is really interesting, Becca. This is 365 Adventures, the dungeon. They have another one that also came out called Cthulhu 1926. And what this is is a daily calendar where every day has a different um adventure. So, you're rolling dice, moving your hero, and then you're going to face an encounter every day for a year. And this one's a dungeon crawl, um, as you can see. And then the other one, Cthulhu, is obviously Cthulhu. But h, how cool is this? This is awesome. I mean, we had a, uh, uh, trivia pull off the day calendar that Jake would um, read us aloud, I believe, Jeopardy every day, uh, last year. And so, we don't have one in the office for this year. We might really need one.

9:27 Yeah. This Now, I see this is in French. Yes. Yes. And Panasona is bringing it over. So, it is going to be available in August. I'm guessing a um Gen Con release. So, then you'll be ready for 2026. And it will be uh they'll have the English versions here. Um so, oh, Gen Con is getting so close. It's so close. And someone still needs to book their flight. Rule. Um we just did. Yeah. I The red eye. Yeah, red eye it is apparently. it. Thankfully, I have a place to stay, but I need to get my actin uh gear here in order. Um, but it's your acting gear order. Wait, yeah, to hyperdrive. It is. Uh, friends. Um, let's Yeah. Okay. I, you know, I'm so worried about all the audio stuff. I'm not even going to worry about anymore.

10:23 It looks It sounds fine in my ears. So, we're going to move along to the next thing. So, be sure to check out uh the dungeon and the Cthulhu 19 20. What was they call it? Cthulhu 1926, but it is for 2026, friends. See what they did there. People are going to be like, "Oh, their their calendar is 100 years out of print. I don't know if this will be appropriate for my year." Too funny. Um, but yeah, that is going to be available at Gen Con, folks. So, be sure to check that out. That's from Panosaurus and we are French. And Becca already did the nice little segue which I forgot about. But we are moving on to a hyperdrive Odyssey. And this one caught my eye, uh, Becca, because I truly did not mean to.

11:12 You skipped right ahead. I just like the word hyperdrive. Oh, okay. Well, it was perfect regardless. This This is another one of what I love to see on Kickstarter. These very small projects. This one is a rolling right, so you're going to print and play it yourself. And cute. Yeah, just like we've covered a few of these before, such as 52 Realms and others, uh, Hyperdrive Odyssey, it is a space adventure uh, solo campaign style, but apparently you can play it with other players, I guess, cooperatively, but I feel like this is more of a long line of a solo game. Uh, but you're rolling dice and marking, you know, keeping track of resources and going to these different uh, parts of the uh, the galaxy. This is what really stood out to me, Becca, is this part right here, the dice uh, manipulation. You're rolling dice and you're going around in a circle on this um, little track, sort of like a rondelle. And every time one of your other dice passes one um, you know, when you roll higher or whatever, then you're going to get extra hyperdrive power. And that's going to allow you to activate your ship and see all the different regions of the universe. Um, cool. I love this stop motion rules explainer.

12:25 Yeah, stop motion is so undervalued these days in these days of horrible AI. Don't get enough stopotion and Alex Cannon is bringing it back. Yeah, I love it. Yeah, shout out to Alex. This is pretty cool. Um, I love those the like the Lego stopmotion um videos that people do. Those are fantastic. These aren't Legos though, folks. This is a uh print game that is funding right now and it's going to be out real soon because these you know it'll be out ready in July. So um the game is basically and you don't have to ship them overseas. Uh it can come out a lot faster. Exactly. Uh here's a there's on the Kickstarter page itself uh Alex uh goes through the gameplay and as you can see there's a lot more going on than your typical rolling right game. Right. You're managing resources and you leveling up your ship and uh trying to get, you know, there is some combat in here as well. You're going to be battling the baddies. So, really, really cool.

13:20 Cute. Oh, adorbs. And I just realized the note that I have here, there are there are multiplayer scenarios. So, it's a solo game, but built on top are multiplayer scenarios that you can uh do um as well if you have friends that are into this uh type of game. Okay. Yeah. Competitive economic sandbox to cooperative tower defense. Oh yeah. Not at all. Options. And I just realized this is not a rondelle. I used the wrong word. It's a mcala. Right. So you go around and pick things up. Yeah. Mala. Oh man, I'm so good at mcala. I love me some mcala. It's such a cool mechanism. I am not that great at it, but I I do enjoy a good mcala. Um I don't know. I don't know. I feel like you're pretty good at every game, but my sisters and I would play anytime we would travel. We had a little travel one that folds in half and has a little snap on it. Oh, you're okay. You're way experienced at that mechanism than if you actually had a travel. Wow.

14:20 Amazing. Um I just have this image of playing on a train for hours and hours. Like the ones where the you get the seat where it's facing each other and you get the table seat. Yes. Oh, the best seat. That's what I think of when I think of Manala. It's a very clear image in my head. Nice. Uh, moving right along. Oh, you know, I'm going to skip back over to a game that I missed. I totally missed uh in our little notes here. Um, maybe it's because I just pressed the wrong button, but I'm pressing the right button. Now, we're going to move on to High Tide. And folks, this game I'm super excited about. I actually high time for some High Tide. There it is. Yes, perfect. Um, I've been following this game since last year. Uh, designer Marceline uh Layman brought this over to PAX Unplugged and I think we talked about the indie games market back um last year. Uh that is where designers brought their literally brought their own games. They physically handcrafted them in very limited quantities and sold them at this indie game market. And apparently it's a thing now. It's really cool back. It's been taking off. And this game in particular, High Tide, really struck a to cord with people and it sold out with like in seven minutes, I think. Amazing. Yeah, I think Marceline, she she only had like 50 copies and they immediately sold out and it was such a buzz there. And I remember hearing the buzz that Underdog Games signed it. So Underdog Games is bringing out this game in a new edition. And you

15:52 can see the uh the new components, the little bag. It's a tile laying game somewhat like Hive apparently. Um Oh, I love Hive. I do too. Player perhaps. Yeah, it's a two-player game and you're stacking them. So, it's got like say think Hive 3D I think would be the best way to describe. Yeah, a little Santorini maybe. Yes. Where you're building up and trying to get your pieces as high as possible and uh score the different things. Um I I bought this or I pre-ordered immediately, folks. It is now on pre-order from Underdog Games and I cannot wait to play this. I I love the story behind it. I love that. Um there there's a designer diary on BG. If you look up High Tide, uh Marceline put a designer diary of how she worked her process and it was very interesting.

16:42 Basically, she had a bunch of components laying around and decided I'm going to make a game in the next like hour or so and just threw it together and this became a game. Wow. A very popular one at that. That's so funny that something, you know, you can spend years and years on a game and then the one you make in 15 minutes is the one people love, right? It feels like Yeah. the the irony of life. It's you needed the experience of spending the years on one to know how to make a quick one. That's right. Right. Like whenever someone says, "Oh, so and so is an overnight success." Right. Well, you didn't see all the tens and decades of years that they put into, you know, behind the scenes and honing their thousand hours principle. Exactly. So, High Tight, it is now on pre-order from Underdog Games. Awesome. Yeah.

17:28 Okay. Uh, moving right along. Let's see. We Hyperdrive past Hyperdrive Odyssey. Um, we talked about that. Why don't we restart things by talking about a game called Restart? Yeah. No, we should end the show and we should start it again. I think that we could do better. Let's restart. Restart. And we're going to restart with our friends Amy and Maggie from Thinker Themur. They did a video on restart and this game is from Totem Game Studios uh designers Evangelist Ethio Antonios uh Janapolos um artist Evan Scale and uh what Amy and Maggie are talking about here is what I see it's a really interesting Euro game. Yeah, that right there caught my eye. It's like 3D pop-up stuff, right? I love it. Give me a popup book any day. Yeah. And it's an engine builder. So, the things that you're doing there on the popup board are um going to be engine building where you gather your resources and you're traveling back in time. So, it's got this really amazing to save humanity from its impending dystopian future.

18:37 This is the game we need. This is the game we need to manifest into reality. Agreed. Um, I like that you're you're going to have two parts of time travel where you and your younger self or your adult or child self are playing in this game. So, you're the ripples of time are going across and you're trying to hopefully not ruin the space-time continuum in order to the ultimate shadow work. Yeah. So, very interesting uh concept and that playerboard. I've never seen anything like that where there is like it looks like 3D and Yeah. this. Yeah. I wonder if it's supposed to fold up on the sides like this. I guess that's a spaceship console. That's how that works. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, the board represents their mind.

19:24 Yeah. And uh you're going to be hopefully completing the patterns that are the chain patterns and um you will be doing the side quests and hopefully getting points from there. So, uh be sure to check out Amy and Maggie's video, folks. It's a really thorough uh recap uh of the game. And as they said, it's an ambitious design uh from um excuse me, from uh Totem Game Studios. Not a slight. They meant it as a compliment. Yeah, exactly. Feel like I feel like that could be a little underhanded. You're You're right. Yeah, my bad. They mean it. No, no, no. It's good. It's good. Ambitious and succeeded. And succeeded. That's right. Um moving right along. We got one more game to talk about during our grabag game segment and we are going to talk about uh I don't know what what's a good segue for this one, Becca. I'm just going to say, hey, we got a podcast about it. Everybody loves cute critters doing war. Yes. And in this case, we've got Whisker Wars. Oh, that's not it. Uh Whisker No, that's not There's Whisker Wars. It'll show up somewhere. Uh now on Kickstarter, this is we're watching Naveen and Mon'nique's uh video on Before You Play. Let me go to the Kickstarter page where we can check out this really cool trailer they put together.

20:44 Yeah. Cute critters doing war. As Becca said, the best thing ever. Oh, no. Lightning. Okay. Okay. Yes. I like the art style. I like the bold lines. Yes. United great realms now fracture under the weight of ambition. Look at that. Whisker Wars. Okay, so Game of Thrones but animals. And as a card battler, uh there's all your battle cards. Oo. Yeah, those a symbol of fierce hand of warrior and backup cards. Okay. But it is like you're not building your own deck pregame, are you? No. No. It's Yeah. Build as you go.

21:30 Amazing. Yeah. I I love the art of this. This is really cute. Super cute. Initiative based combat system. Uh oh, I found a flaw. It says, "If you can count down from 20, you're ready to play." Look, I can count up from 20. Counting down. That's asking a lot. Yeah, counting down is asking a lot, especially this early in the morning, which isn't bad, I guess, but for us it's early. Um, this is two to four players and you're going to build an ultimate hand of heroic animal warriors. The big thing in this is apparently the flow of battle can change at any time. So that um it's all about timing. Oh, look at that creature. Whoa, that is that's a battle tortoise. Battle tortoise. Battle tortoise. Love all the cards. This is great.

22:27 Sledgehog is the good. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I have a children's book about um an axe. Oh, music playing um Sledgehog. Nice. The Sledgehog. Sledgehog. Uh this has got a couple more uh two more weeks to go on the Kickstarter, folks. And it'll be out next May, so a year from now. Um it'll be available. And again, you can check out Mon'nique and Naveen's video on before you play on YouTube and to check out a closer look how it plays. It's again a card battler, so two to four players and uh you're trying to put your creatures down to zero health points, so you win or morale. Ah, okay. I scrolled down a little and found the how to play. So you it's a drafting a drafting of your cute little warriors.

23:12 Oh, okay. Um Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you simultaneously reveal them to create your board and then uh and then then you're playing cards back and forth until you crush your opponent along with their spirit. Yeah, this one these type of games I I always feel like they're they're a good match uh for for I don't know for us and everyone else that watches the show I I feel like a lot of us play these type of games. I really enjoy them. Yeah, absolutely. All about the card battler. It is cool. Okay. Um, friends, uh, let me go over here. So, what we're going to do, uh, as y'all know, we talk about games, we enjoy our beverages, we get into shenanigans, we also do a jacked up matchup. Now, before we do that, uh, I need to set this because we're going to, we're doing this virtually today, so I need to set up a game with Becca on board game arena.

24:05 Yeah, I've added you as a friend. Oh, okay, cool. And I think my is Darth Maul, and I don't know how to change it. Really? Why is this? Okay, let me go to board game. This is not working for me, unfortunately. Why is this going over here? Okay. Um, quit that game. Okay. Okay. I found a good one. Don't you worry. Okay. So, you've added me as a friend. Okay. Um, hey, where'd it go? Ah, Marina. Okay, there. BGA, don't disappoint us. Yeah. Okay. Going to create a new table. Um, we're doing this off offline, folks. So, it'll be just a second here. And we have Becca. There she is. Okay. I've sent your request on Board Game Arena to play hardback. Heck yeah. I got it. Got it. Okay. Cool. Join hardback.

25:10 Okay. Okay. So, I'm going to go to the game and we're going to start in just a second. Um, because I I've set this up, Becca, so we can do this virtually. We're going to do our little punching thing. Um, and get ready for the jacked up match up, folks. It's time for our jacked up. Jacked up. Match up. You did it. We did it. Well done. Thanks. Shout out to Ray for all the magical pieces to make that happen. uh friends a few weeks ago or actually no this this was last year we played paperback um and this is the sequel uh this is a standalone sequel called hardback and it plays the same way uh where we have cards and we're trying to form words but with the letters this time instead of just having regular letter cards as you'll see here I've got the screen up here this offer row shows all the different letters we can add to our deck so once again we spell board.

26:07 So if I want to do this, uh, so I've got these letters here. If I scramble them around, I can create the word cruel. Rule with a C. Cruel or cruel. Um, you can make the difference between this and paperback is any letter can be wild. So I can turn, you know, any word by just type clicking on wild, make it any letter. Of course, you got to spell word. And then when you spell the word, you're going to get either victory points with the stars or money with the pennies. Um, and then using those pennies you've earned, you're going to buy different letters and add them to your deck. Now, the different thing about this is in paper in hardback, every letter here down here in the offer row, they have different factions or in the game they call them genres. So, one's like love romance novels, one is, you know, who done it, whatever. But in our ca and just for the purpose of gameplay, think of them as factions. So, when you line up factions, you'll get the top part for free, the top abilities. For instance, this L, I get two victory points. Now, if I play another um uh card that has the same faction as the L, for instance, this P, I will get the bottom part as well. So, I'd get two points and one point. And then for the P, I'd get two points and two points. So, that's a nice little combo. Um, so at any time, so I'm going to pick the first turn. It is a race to um 60 points or 120. Does it say 120?

27:28 Oh, okay. H some amount of points. Yeah, some amount of points. So, I'm going to play this first. So, I confirmed the word uh cruel. So, I've earned three money, three points. And why didn't I get to do anything? Why did it just go? Apparently, I got two uh two victory points and three pennies. Okay. I am seeing I wonder. I guess you can't see. Oh, you can. Yeah, there you see what's in my hand right down there. Yep. Cool. I have realm. Nice. I moved it around. It didn't already say that. I'm gonna confirm my word. Okay. And maybe I just didn't have enough funds to buy anything. You may purchase forces available. Okay. Okay. Um for ink in turn. Okay. So, I think that trashing stuff is probably good. Oh, I can't. I see. I have to buy something that I can afford. Yes. It's showing me what's available. One other concept I should um explain. Uh there's a concept called ink and remover. So ink, what that is lets you draw cards. So if you spend an ink, you get to draw another card, but you must use that uh card or letter in your word if you draw that one using ink. So to buy ink, you just spend your money. It'll you'll give you an option that's buy ink.

28:53 Okay. Okay. Penny Dreadful to buy one that gives me Oh, are we playing with Penny Dreadful? Oh, okay. Apparently, it's set up to play with Penny Dreadful. I had no idea that was going to happen. That's the AI here. Yeah. Okay. Hi, Penny. Um, okay. So, I'm going to spell stain. Confirm word. Oo. Then I have So, I have five uh pennies. I can buy five ink, which will let me draw five cards. That's too much. I want to add some cards to my deck. So, I've got let's do uh this one here, letter P for four bucks or four pennies. And then for the remaining penny, I'll get an ink, which allows me to draw cards next turn. Okay. Well, uh I'm trying to do a little spelling here. And I've got teensy.

29:44 That's not how you spell tensy. Nitsy. Oh gosh, my eyes are getting a little nisty that I can't find a word. Oh no. Um, okay. So, we have different offer rows. That feels crazy. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, wait. What? My offer row is It's just in a different order. You have yours by cost now. They're the same. Okay. Oh, got it. I'm stalling. I Maybe I'll be a member of the Cinti Senate. And again, you could always make a letter wild. Uh you just won't earn anything for the wild letter. Okay. Yeah. Well, I definitely need this Y to do something. Um why don't we just go with minty?

30:39 Nice. And uh confirm. All right. Okay. I have three cents available and I can only purchase a P. Now, it's got one cent, one cent, and jail. So, if I have multiple mystery cards, which I don't seem to have yet, then I could go to jail. Reserve or remove an offer card so others cannot purchase it. What? Okay. Well, I'm going to go ahead and buy it because I like shopping and that's it. Okay. Penny Dreadful is Wow, they are the AI is super tough. They've got 24 points already. Oh my gosh.

31:25 Okay. Um I will go and let's see. Sant. Is that a word? I'm going to try it. Nope. It is not rejected by American Scrabble. So a darn it. I'll be a saint and play saint. You can't saunter without a sa. That that's correct. There is no sants, just Storine. I'll buy an S. Okay. I have spelled the name Jean Paul Satra. Oh, little French. Does it Oh, we can just shuffle. Ratsy. Ratsy.

32:06 Let's see. Turse. Oh, parse. Tur dress. Come on. Write in the RSET. RSET. Oh, as a kick in the arset. I don't think this word exists. Sertas. Okay. Um, is that a mattress? Sort of street. No. Um, stern. Oh, okay. Yeah. We'll just go with that. Same difference. Nice. Feeling stern up in here.

32:52 Okay, now I can purchase the F, the K, or the M. And I've already got that P that cares about um Oh. Um the other mysteries. Yeah, there's also Oops, I accidentally clicked the K. Didn't mean to. Oh, and apparently there's no undo in this game. Sure isn't. Okay. Well, I'm gonna be very careful then of what I get here. So, let's do I have stare that whole time. What is this? Oh, I can do plier with E. Confirm. So, I got three ink. Oh, I'm going to get this H because this matches my other genre. And Penny Dreadful is scoring more points. I guess Penny Dreful is like the timer in this game.

33:45 I see. I'm going to spell milky. Okay. Okay. All I can buy is an F, but it gives me stars, so that seems nice. I thought I could buy more than one. I must Yeah. Can you add more words than Oh. Oh, draw with ink means I So, I have two inks. So, I could add additional letters. Correct. And the the trick with that is when you add those, those letters must be in the word you smell spell. Otherwise, you're going to get nothing if you don't spell with those. So, uhoh. Yeah. Draw carefully, as they would say. Okay. Um, what is What am I going to spell this?

34:33 Huns. Hun. No, that's not a word, is it? shun. Or I could take out the E for shun. Okay. Now, I could trash this for a star, but I'm not going to trash it. So, I'll skip that part of it. And with two cents, I'm just going to get some ink. So, now I have six ink. That means I can draw six letters in or up to six letters, but I must use them. Whoa, that's pretty awesome. Okay, I've got Proly. Prony. Let's see. Is pruny. Does that have is that ey or do we think pruny is with the y. I feel like it. Yeah, just with the y. I think only one way to see is Oh, no. No.

35:20 Nope. It needs the e. Okay. They have the lookup button which is very cool. Yeah, I like that. Just type in stuff. Okay. So, here's the lookup button, folks. I'll show that on screen. Do I dare draw with ink? I'm just gonna see what happens. And now I have to use this R. Yeah.

35:46 Prayer. Prayer. Pearlary. All right. I don't I don't want to pray all day. We're going to do a prayer. Oh, nice. There we go. Wow. And confirm. Nice. All right. So, I get to choose one cent or um one star. And then otherwise, I'm going to have one, two, just two cents. Oh gosh. But with three cents, I can't get much more. So, we're going to go with the star. And I just won't go shopping. Yeah. Very nice. Okay. So, I got split. Super easy word here. Split as in banana. Oh, banana split. I have not had one of those in years. Delish.

Do you know what? This would get me some good money. Let's try it. Okay. Four cents. That will finally get me my special W. That gives me a double letter. Let's do it. Nice. You must choose a benefit for R. Either the scent. So, I could have five cents. I've never had that kind of money, but I will take the star. Nice.

Meanwhile, I'm going to draw cards with ink. Why was that so hard for me? Two cents and two stars. Um, okay. How do I buy ink?

47:49 Where's that button? Um, so you should have two cents. It'll say at the top of the screen to buy ink, I believe at the very top. Oh, I have to choose a benefit for the A. Oh, do that first. Yeah. Remove a discarded card to gain one cent. Oh, okay. I'm gonna I'm not I'm I'm taking the change. Okay. And then I'm going to get an F or a D. And don't forget you could buy ink if you'd like. Okay. So, tell me where I see the ink. Uh it should be up top where it was asking you like for b to use a benefit. It should say buy ink.

48:42 You say this and yet I don't see it. No. Okay. So, it shows you you have 4 cents earned so far. Yeah. And then isn't there a button that says ink for 4 cents or buy a letter? No. No. No. That's weird. Um, I'll watch yours when it happens. I'm gonna buy this card. Wait, it's not letting me. Uhoh. You might want to do Oh, I could do two jails. That's the thing. Oh, okay.

Getting that ink now. Penny Dreadful goes. By the way, we're tied. We're at 40 and 40. What's the win condition? Uh, when someone gets to 120, which Penny Dre's at 107. Okay, Penny Dreadful. Get out of here. Get out of here, Penny Dre. See that? You spelled crust. Crust. Good words.

50:36 I'm just going to buy three ink because I can't afford anything else. This is Wait a second. Why do we have the same scores? This is weird. Yeah, I didn't do anything. Yeah. Are we playing co-op? Are we playing co-op, Becca? I don't know. Apparently, we two versus one. Yeah. Well, they're much better than we are at this. Yeah. Fanny Dreadful is the champ. Okay.

51:17 H. Let's just get a bunch of ink and see what happens. There you go. I did have a word, but then I just inked in and in. Okay, I've got a K I want to use. Get out of here. Get out of here. Other letters.

51:39 Okay. Rink. Justice says, "I just I just tricked Becca into playing co-op." I did. I didn't even mean to. Oh, no. How dare you? Okay, I think I can play the word stinker. Oh, whoa, nice. I was going to say that. I Yeah. No. Oh, you're short of need one more letter. Do I dare? I say you do. Sinker. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's a good one, too. That a word? Yeah,

52:23 sure. This one's a real sinker. A stinker sinker. Okay. Wow. Three ink into one scent, huh? That's pretty cool. So, we only have five cents. That's so interesting. Well, how do you I don't know how the score the cooperative version like why are we right? Why are we so low? We should be doing better. We've been spun up all kinds of words. I I don't get it. But friends, whether you play cooperatively or competitively, this is how it's played. You draw letters, create words, and then you bring in new letters and hoping to combine the two. Uh getting the factions or the categories, genres to line up.

53:14 All right. Okay. So, Penny Dreadful is at 119. We're at 43. Um, I've just spelled spleen. I've got the two adventure genres, so I'm going to get a bunch of stars for this uh letter. Okay. Well, if that's the case, I'm just going to put in every single ink I can and then um and then we'll win with me doing a single word. It's so good. I love it. Okay, so I can purchase the V, which is another adventure category. Oh, that's it. Oh, boo. Wait, go back. I want to see all the words. Final situation. There it is.

54:03 So, let's see. What is it saying here with the numbers? Um, so I don't know what the numbers on the left are. Is that the number? Which word we I don't know. But then we have the words, you have the length, and then the money earned and the stars earned. You got the most stars for fat. Fat. That was a fat word, folks. That's a fat word. Spleen split. Look how well you did. Thanks. First, I kept using the same words over and over. Oh, no. They're good words. Also, I needed to get more vowels early on. My M's and K's weren't really doing me much good. Milky, they were real sinkers, if you will.

54:48 Yes. Um, I love that you you played an Fbomb during the stream. I think that's great. You know, it's it's not my fault that I got the words I got. There it is. The jacked up matchup. Jacked up matchup. Match up. That was fun. Oh wow, folks. Even though I tricked Becca into playing a cooperative game, you got to see how hardback is played, just like paperback, but with those genre cards. Very cool.
